OK, lets get serious, this is not Star Trek, Star Wars or even Red Dwarf.
Its Starhyke.
Its about a crew of mainly women with a strong female character played by the excellent Claudia Christian as lead.
As pilots went, the pilot wasn't great, the second episode was a wee bit better. The third episode wasn't much better but had Patrick Moore.
Then the writers upped the game and produced IMO the best comedy SCI-FI episode that i have seen.
Episode 4 - Reboot This episode is an alternate reality episode where the Dreadnought crash lands on a remote part of Earth and the crew are forced to live the rest of their life there. The acting, the characters and the lives they lead really draw you into the characters. Christian is excellent as Blowhard and the decision that she has to make near the end of the episode is a real tear-jerker.
Episode 5 returns to the light hearted side of Starhyke as the crew are on the hunt for the aliens and discover the alien base cunningly disguised as a strip club. So the crew take jobs as lap dancers. Stefanie Jory is excellent as Sally in this episode. The rest of the crew are left on the ship and the cleaner Reg is left to fend off an attack on the ship.
Episode 6 is the shows finale and what an ending.
As the crew explore their emotions more and wake up with a hangover, an evil plan is hatched which results in the entire crew evacuating the ship and the evil Hologram S.E.R.C.H taking over the ship with only Reg left on board. The Hologram in this episode comes across more evil than Emperor Palpatine, the Borg and the Smurfs put together. An excellent performance by Gene Foad as the hologram.
Overall a 10/10 for the last 3 episodes which are some of the best episode writing I have seen. If you can survive through the 1st 3 episodes, the rest of the series is superb
